Newborn sock recipe

You need: 5 dpns 2.5 mm (or 4, or one or two circulars, whatever suits you) A darning needle 20 gr plain sockwool. Selfpatterning yarns are not the best choice.

Knit the first round of the Westport Waves pattern 6 times, then knit the complete pattern 4 times, ending after the fourth row at your marker. Start the heel flap: Knit 9 stitches, turn.
